THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

“Today, I am here to join you two together as husband and wife. Can we proceed to sharing the vows and exchanging the rings?”, the priest, who was a man in his early 50 asked.

“Yes, you can”, Edward responded, with joy evident in his voice and on his face, after getting a confirmation from Ellie that the ceremony could take-off.

“So, can the groom go ahead and say his vows?”, the priest asked.

“Ellie, I knew you were the one who would bring my life to completion the moment I laid eyes on you. I’m not just standing here taking your hand in marriage; I’m also promising you my undying love. I promise to be your best friend, your steadfast ally, and your constant companion. I pledge to support you at your highs and lows, to rejoice in every victory, no matter how tiny, and to share in your pleasures and sorrows”, Edward said, pausing.

“I promise to love you unconditionally, to always treat you with dignity and respect, and to treasure each day that we have together. I promise to be a constant source of support, a shoulder to weep on, and a rock you can rely on. I give you my heart, my soul, and everything I am, Ellie, with this ring, both now and forever”, Edward said with a smile on his and at this moment, Ellie was already tearing up. Edward moved close to her and hugged her, at the same time, patting her back, assuring her that everything was going to be okay.

“If you do not stop crying, you will ruin your makeup. So, be a good girl and stop crying”, Edward said in a caring and loveable voice.

“I am sorry. I just got really emotional”, Ellie said, amidst her tears.

“I understand. It’s not easy to marry such an handsome guy like me”, Edward said boastfully, flipping his hair and which made both Ellie and the priest laughed.

“So, is the bride ready to take her vows now?”, the priest asked after noticing that Ellie was now in a good mood.

“Yes, I am”, Ellie said, getting prepared to take her vows.

“Today, Edward, not only am I becoming your wife, but I am also becoming your partner in everything. I swear to support you through all of life’s ups and downs, to laugh and weep together, and to develop with you. I promise to be your closest friend, your most devoted confidant, and your strongest supporter.

I swear to adore and respect you constantly, to love you completely, and to treasure every second we spend together. I promise to be the love of your life, the brightness in your gloomy moments, and the peace in your storms. I give you my heart, my allegiance, and my eternity with this ring. Edward, you are everything to me, and I promise to always be there for you”, Ellie said and as she said her vows, she looked into Edward’s eyes and all she could see was his undying and unending love for her.

“Now, both the bride and the groom may exchange your rings”, the priest said. They both exchanged their rings and they were pronounced as husband and wife. After the ceremony was done, they headed home happily.

Sophia on the other hand, got to know about Ellie and Edward’s wedding through Jack. She was pacing up and down, not knowing what to do. Since she discovered the circumstances relating to her birth, she had been disorganized, not knowing what to do. She didn’t want to set her eyes on her mother and so, didn’t go to her place. At that place, she had thought she was all alone with her mother and Richard not being beside her. She was pacing up and down, thinking of a way to make Edward voluntarily leave Ellie. Luck was on her side that day as she was thinking of what to do, she received a phone call which would turn everything around for her and make Ellie’s life miserable.

On getting home that day, Edward had gotten a call from Daniel who informed him of the dinner party which would be coming up the day after. The dinner party was for the celebration of the successful collaboration with the Oswell Fashion Group. Ellie never knew the party would turn into a nightmare for her.

On getting to the party with Edward that night, Ellie had seen Sophia walking towards them.

“Hello, lovebirds. Congratulations on your wedding. I heard you two got wedded yesterday”, Sophia said smiling, a smile that would have been mistaken to be real.

“Thank you. I hope you can get over him as soon as possible and find your perfect match”, Ellie responded in a sly way.

“If you do not mind, can you please release your wife to me for few minutes? I have some things to discuss with her”, Sophia said, folding her arms.

“We don’t have the luxury of time to be here discussing with you. Have a blessed night”, Edward said, trying to walk away alongside with Ellie, from Sophia.

“Do not worry, babe. I will love to hear what she has to say”, Ellie said, holding Edward by his arm.

“Are you sure you will be okay?”, Edward asked.

“Yes, I will be just fine. I will catch up with you soon”, Elie reassured Edward.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Okay, I will be expecting you:, Edward replied.

“Do not try to play smart with her or cause her harm as I would not take it lightly with you”, Edward said in a stern voice to Sophia, before walking away.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”, Ellie asked, trying to spend her time with her judiciously.

“How long do you think you can continue to deceive him?”, Sophia said.

“What do you mean by that ? Deceive who?”, Ellie asked, lost.

“Are you pretending yo do not know what I am saying right now? I am talking about your relationship with Kevin and what you did to him three days ago”, Sophia said, making Ellie scared as to how she got to know about Kevin.
